Most conveyancing firms refer the legal transfer. Account openings, deposit recovery, and utility linking fall outside that mandate — and most clients are left to sort it out themselves.
Rates-Ease is the specialist your firm refers those cases to. We handle the municipal work your clients need done after transfer, alongside your existing process. And as a verified Level 1 B-BBEE contributor, every rand your firm pays us earns 135% procurement recognition value on your scorecard.
For conveyancing firms and property developers with annual B-BBEE procurement targets, using Rates-Ease directly contributes to your scorecard at full recognition value.
